Cute Emily continued the red hot run for Caulfield trainer Peter Moody when she scored a powerful all the way win in today’s Group Three SAJC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville.
Now unbeaten in three runs, Cute Emily boosted her future broodmare value when she easily beat Win for Wilson and Cash Bound.
Sold by Magic Millions as both a weanling and yearling, Cute Emily was sent out one of the popular elects after excellent wins at Stawell and Caulfield.
A product of top New South Wales thoroughbred nursery Reavill Farm, Cute Emily was originally sold for $19,000 at the 2009 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.
She returned to the same sale ring just over 12 months later and this time a member of the Edinburgh Park draft she realised $100,000 to the bid of leading Melbourne bloodstock agent Bill Mitchell at last year’s National Yearling Sale.
A daughter of Choisir, Cute Emily was sent straight to the front by accomplished Adelaide senior rider Shayne Cahill and she held that position throughout for a soft win.
At the post Cute Emily ($2.80-$3.80) held a length and a quarter margin over the Encosta de Lago gelding Win for Wilson ($10-$11-$8).
Dash for Cash colt Cash Bound ($3.50-$4.40) was another neck back in third place for the Darren Weir stable.
Cute Emily, by Danehill Dancer’s globetrotting son Choisir, is one of six winners produced by the group winning Mi Preferido mare Prefer an Angel.
A half sister to the stakes placed Citidevil, Prefer an Angel won fix races – four in Melbourne – her best victory coming in the Group Two Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Moonee Valley.
A half sister to Cute Emily, by former champion racehorse Holy Roman Emperor, will go under the hammer at May’s Magic Millions National Weanling Sale.
Catalogued as lot 18, the Holy Roman Emperor-Prefer an Angel filly is a member of a quality packed draft from Reavill Farm.
